AMERICA. " 



My country 'tis of thee, 
Sweet land of Liberty, 

Of thee I sing; 
Land where my fathers died, 
Land of the pilgrim's pride, 
From every nunntain side 

Let freedom ring. 

M\- native county, thee. 
Land of the noble, free, 

Tby name, I love; 
T love thy rocks and rills, 
Thy woods and templed hill; 
My heart with i'a]itni-c thrills 
Like that above. 

Let music swell the breeze. 
And ring from all the trees 

Sweet freedom's song; 
Let in,)rtal tongues awake; 
L(>t all that l)reathe pai-take; 
bet i-ocks their silence bi-eak, 

'I'he sound in'olong. 

( )ur fathers' God, to thee, 
Author of liberty, 

To thee we sing 
1 oii<'' iii;i\- our land be bright 
n'ith lVee:lo]n's lioly lialit: 
J^ri»tect us by thy mioht. 

Great God, our King.
